Hey all, I'm looking for my first car due to the nature of my job (Travelling to different places a day to visit clients) Things I look out for (Ranked from top to bottom) 1. Budget specific for car: 10k-15k (I have set aside 1.5k a mth for all the car expenses) 2. COE duration: I want a 3 year COE car preferably (But now I can't find any such cars within my budget), will make do with 2 years COE. Why 2-3 years is by then I will decide whether to change career or not (Which may not need a car) I'm not particular about features or accessories, as long I can drive safely with the car. Currently eyeing these cars: https://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=1069137: Chevrolet Aveo5, I think I can renew COE for this car after it expires right? https://www.sgcarmart.com/used_cars/info.php?ID=1058804&DL=1000: Mercedes-Benz 200E, the low price make me question the reliability of this car, and if I'm not wrong, the COE of this car cannot be renewed anymore? Any recommendations/ advice? Or any other things I should look out for when I get a car?

I have no such problem, i like all the cars i owned and am owning now. Maybe you do also? My first car was a 8yr old 4door with serious rust problem ie rear passengers could literally poke their feet through the rust holes in the floor!! But i still liked it because it's the only thing i could afford. It drank engine oil at the rate of one bottle every fortnight. As long as the car goes and stops straight, starts every morning i am happy. Why do you like a particular car(s) you owned?
